A little about what happens when ERASMUS'ā lives were not over for parties and Finnish vodka drink, but also a bit attend the University of Oulu. Everything started with ArcGIS ArcMap 3.2 and 9.2. Liked it. Returning food warming tray Latvian decided not to lose the knowledge and chose QuantumGIS (QGIS) his master's thesis. It all still call the liberal arts, as the development of the idea was to look at the end of it all, and still do not, because of the new ideas that will be implemented. But there are some ideas, which would like to share.
What is GIS? Geographic information system (hereinafter - GIS), which is able to store different types of data, display them and take them to the test. This is how it will stay, the longer the record would speak for specific technical things food warming tray that have nothing to do with archeology (various QGIS usage examples food warming tray can be found on site). Archaeology on the subject so far I have found only two good books - Spatial Technology and Archaeology: The Archaeological Applications of GIS and Archaeological Computing), it is yet. Mostly come across for concrete examples, but it is understandable because each study is unique food warming tray with different issues. Therefore, I would like to think that there is no single recipe for GIS in archeology, food warming tray although the technical features are the same. This will also be the - hill Tērvetes example. About GIS software used in QGIS (legal, free use brīvprogramma).
Archaeological excavations carried out from Tērvetes mound in 1954. - The 1960s. year. It examines the around 930 m2 large area. Cultural layer plateau around food warming tray 2 m thick, but the terrace up to 7 m depth. Been 6 layers food warming tray of the population, which covers the period from 1st gtpmē. to 13th century. end. It is a testimony of the 10 buildings, 16 ovens, 5 fireplaces, a line of defense by reinforcing wooden terrace design, antiques and 3966 (excluding ceramics and other samples, a total of a few thousand). Made of layers and structural descriptions drawn plans and drawings (940 (!) Pcs.), Well-prepared ceramic samples and various correspondence. All this produced a classic archaeological documentation time, add up to a huge amount of information that is very difficult to navigate around it.
However, the thing that makes this different use of the information ĢIS'ā - common coordinate system. Usually food warming tray every archaeological site is being used in a common food warming tray coordinate system fixation graphics (drawings) and discovery (antiques, pottery, models, etc.) documentation. food warming tray Tērvetes mound used in the X, Y coordinate system (Cartesian coordinate food warming tray system - is already in elementary school, we drew a straight line, parabola, hyperbola and beasts). This means that drawing your plans may "embed" that finds its location. Every discovery for a given precision (up to 10 cm border) coordinates, for example., Area B, 3rd layer, x 15,30, 12,70 y, z -375. Thus it - may be grouped together. Given Z coordinate of the discovery depth (nivelējums).
From this it is difficult to separate the material for any further research related food warming tray to the mound building (buildings, stoves, ranges) position, finding the location food warming tray and density and their relation to the construction food warming tray site. It allows you to talk about a particular business and residential premises organization. There may be more in other studies - everything depends solely on fantasy. I tried to deal with non-ferrous metals trade organizations Tērvetes mound first - 3rd stocking layer corresponding to the eleventh - 13th century. (Those found in all layers of the structure, while the fourth - sixth layer of documentation really no longer qualifies as during excavations had problems with this documentation purposes). The initial goal was to create a mound of building food warming tray plans in layers, together with the findings in order to be as raw material to talk about non-ferrous metal crafts Tērvetes mound. In the case of building plan gives the organization food warming tray of space (context) in which the crafts. But according to the findings set intensity and density at different food warming tray locations on the nature of the craft - the intensity and the relation to other economic sectors.
Drawn Plans - are bound coordinate system and arranged in layers (the first, second, third). This measure is used only for individual plans. It should be the building plan is then digitized or redrawn food warming tray buildings and furnaces. As a result, we obtain a clean and understandable view of the structural position of mound. Why not use an existing drawing as a basis? There is a need
